Chapter 14

"Oh well Lucy, its just you and me again, of course your grand parents and the rest of our family will spoil us both, I just wish I could give you your daddy, but his life is not with us in Rome" Dani says sadly to the baby, just they are waiting yet again for another announcement for their flight, this time the flight is back home, and away from him. "Your daddy is a good man Lucy, I am sure he will be there for you whenever you need him, and he will come and visit you"

Dani sighs, she cant help but wonder what might have been, had she stayed in the village all that time ago, and never moved to Rome. She wonders whether the three of them could have been a proper family, but as a tear almost falls from her eye, she pulls herself out of her thoughts, not wanting to humiliate herself in public, by bursting into tears, even though that is what she felt like doing.

She looks at the announcement board, and sees that her flight is delayed, "great this is the last thing I need right now" she thinks to herself as Lucy gets fidgety yet again. She decides to go over to the café and get something to eat, not knowing how long it would be before her flight was going to be announced.

An hour later, the an announcement is made, that her flight is about to board, she gathers her things and carries Lucy to the boarding gate, just as she arrives at the gate she hears someone call her name. She turns around, not daring to believe her eyes. When she realises she is not seeing things, and he is really there. She asks him what he is doing here, and he replies, "If the offer is still open, I want to be with you both"

"What about everything you said yesterday, about it being for the wrong reasons, that we had separate lives"

"If I'm honest, I was scared, scared that it wont work out, that I will end up hurting you all over again, and Lucy in the process."

"But what changed, why are you here now"

"Because I realised that I am more scared of loosing you, and not giving it a go, than anything else. I still love you, and always have done, even if I could not admit it to myself, these last couple of week, whilst they've been difficult, the same time they've been amazing. I want to try again with you, and not because we have a child together, but because I need you in my life."

"What about your life here, your friends, your degree, you belongings, what about Mercedes?"

"My life has not been the same since Sam, that's why mum, dad and Nic left, I stuck it out and it got better, but people still see me as his brother, as for my friends, I can still stay in touch with them and visit, besides I have done most of the stuff for the degree anyway, I have spoken to college on the phone on the way here all I have to do is fly back for a week for the finals, and they will still let me graduate. Mercedes and I talked last night, and we broke up, its not fair on her, she would always have been second best, and she realised that. I have a bag packed, and tickets for this flight in my hand, all you have to do is say yes, that you want us together, please don't tell me you have changed your…"

Dani interrupted him with a deep, passionate kiss, "I take that is a yes then" Russ joked, "it's defiantly a yes" Dani replied. To that Russ kissed Dani once again, and then took Lucy out of her mums' arms, and kissed his daughter on her head, then carried her to the plane.

The young family went off to start their new life together, full of promise, knowing that the path would not be easy but together they would manage it.
